Someone should look into that.

In all seriousness, i think even if O-rings had been fitted into 25th G.I.Joe's some of them still wouldn't look that great if i'm honest. I can't sit and berate the 25th product any longer, until of course I get that Storm Shadow figure reviewed. An attempt, an honest one at best.. to give the 25th G.I.JOE a chance. Now it's more honest than their creators that's for sure. Just a note to the threadstarter here, I think it was considered by alot, and I do mean alot, of 80s G.I.JOE fans that not including the O-ring was a big step backwards (disappointment). Some have got over it and some can't get past it. Is it completely impossible to open up a 25th figure and transform the middle so it accepts O-ring? Is this not a custom feature that some excellent craftsperson could do? __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

Stormer Wasss once a man Offline --> Posts: 1,430 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	In all seriousness, the o-ring would have made a HUGE difference to me. I've got tall figures already (admittedly JvC Shipwreck is average height by 25th standards) and different head & elbow construction (DTC new sculpts) but it's the fugly manboob-making mid-torso joint that puts me off the most. I don't care if it's more realistic articulation, it looks stupid to split Flash's armour in two. OK, back to my newspaper -- I just noticed, that whole war in Iraq thing hasn't really gone as well as they were hoping, don't you think? __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.
